Gardai have launched an investigation after a teenage girl was allegedly sexual assaulted at 3Arena.

The reported incident took place during a sold-out concert by Canadian singer Shawn Mendes in Dublin last week, reports the Irish Daily Mirror.

The woman has bravely posted about her experience on social media, and said she had contacted the Garda officials. She also added that the venue was aware of what happened.

In a post that has been widely shared, she wrote: "On Saturday 13th of April I attended a Shawn Mendes concert in a well known Dublin venue near the docks.

"During a visit to the toilets I was sexually assaulted by an unknown person.

"The venue is aware of this and so are the guards.

"This is a warning to anybody attending any event from now on not to go to the toilet on your own.

"If this message and my experience can save one person from going through what I went through then my experience will not be totally negative."

A spokesman for An Garda Siochana said: "Gardaí are investigating an alleged sexual assault of a female, that occurred at a venue on North Wall Quay, Dublin 1 on the April 13, 2019 .

"Investigations are ongoing."

A spokesperson for the 3Arena has been contacted for comment.
